Usually I’m against television shows being ported from England to the States. I mean reimaging of a quality show is just annoying in most cases. However, reimaging of a show in a language I don’t know? THAT is something I can sink my teeth into.
Les Revenants’ focuses on a group of men and women returning to their homes in an Alpine village. What they do not yet know is that they have all been dead for several years, and no one is expecting them back.
So it sounds like we’re getting intelligent zombies in this one? I don’t know. Honestly from the description above and the trailer I’m really not getting the zombie vibe that Variety claims that this show has. Seriously just because something comes back to life from the dead doesn’t make it a zombie.
Does anyone out there know enough about the show to support the zombie claim with some solid backup? Or at least debunk this claim and just let us know it’s about people coming back to life and nothing at all to do with zombies.
Well, “Les Revenants” are dead, indeed. And ******* spoiler ******** they do rot. That’s actually a mid-season twist, which is why Canal Plus has not sold the show as a zombie show but as a mystery one. ******* /spoiler *******
Thank you for clarifying that! So not quite zombies. As someone who sounds like they’ve been watching the show.. if you check this out again let us know – is it good?
